The Out Station Students Association (OSSA) is an association that has been formed in SJEC to cater to the needs of students who are living away from home. Most of these students are working during the day, and pursuing their education at SJEC in the evenings.

The purpose of the association is to provide students who have migrated from other parts of India and the world to Bengaluru with academic and nonacademic support. This includes providing a forum for them to express their needs and interact with other students who have similar challenges and experiences. The association also provides services such as helping students find accommodation and employment, and providing help in medical and other emergencies. Further, it helps the members with academics and need based counseling.

OSSA encourages its students to interact with other students and faculty on campus. In this regard, students are encouraged to participate in college level activities and display their talent at various intra and inter-collegiate events.

Aim: To bring together all students who are staying away from home, either in hostels, as paying guests, or with friends, identify their needs with respect to jobs, accommodation, medical assistance, and legal aid, and provide support whenever necessary.

Vision: To create a forum for students who live away from home so that they may feel accepted and at home.
